The first bookless library, called BiblioTech, will be a test and is set to open in the fall on the south side of the county. But these bookless libraries will not replace the current system. Instead, Wolff says, they are meant to enhance them.

At the prototype location, residents will be able to check out an e-reader to use at home for two weeks. Obviously, there could be some issues with theft, but Wolff notes that the libraries do know your name and address.

Still, that's why the county is starting with just one location before rolling out the system county-wide.

"We want to make sure it works before we have an obligation to do anything else," Wolff said.
